City issues Hanover Garage public-art RFP; artist walk-through scheduled

Sean said the Hanover Garage public-art RFP is active and that the park/public-art group is focused on interior murals and a walk-through for interested artists on Monday morning. "We're gonna take them through, let them see what's what's available," Sean said, adding that questions and answers will be compiled and posted publicly to ensure transparent procurement.

Staff said the art review committee collected resident input and used it to craft the RFP; the committee also plans a change-out of art in the Portsmouth Room toward the end of September with a small reception likely before the Sept. 28 City Council meeting.

City staff noted procurement rules require that questions be submitted publicly and answered publicly; communications staff will videotape the walk-through to capture questions for posting on the website.
